Equation Decoder
Students solve a series of 20, one step algebraic equations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to decode a secret message. Each solution matches to a letter of the alphabet and when put together gives the message "equations are exciting"! Comes with an answer key as well. Great for algebra review. I like to use it for team races; each team gets one paper and tries to finish as quickly as possible with each team member solving one question then passing to a teammate.

Math Whodunnit Escape Room | Grades 6–8 | The Tampered Timetable | Ratios
DESCRIPTIONThe school timetable was modified overnight — but not randomly. The ratio of maths periods to every other subject was systematically reduced by exactly 40% across all grade levels. Every proportional relationship was recalculated to keep the schedule looking balanced. Every percent was adjusted to hide the cut. Whoever did this understood ratios well enough to weaponise them. Five suspects had after-hours building access. Detective Chen is out of leads. Your students are next. The Mat
